Point the camera at anything and capture its exact colour into your collection. Rare shades are rare because of where they are — a particular sky, a particular shopfront — so filling the wheel means going outside and looking properly at things you walk past.…
Standard to-do apps assume you will open them, read a list, and feel motivated. For a lot of people that is exactly the thing that does not happen. This one starts the day for you: one task at a time, timers that assume you will lose the thread, and no…
Not lifetime personal finance. One holiday, one wedding, one conference: set the number, log what you spend, see how much of it is left before you buy the next round. When the trip is over the budget is over. Who it is for: people who will never adopt a full…
You are at 30,000 feet, the wifi has stopped, and you cannot tell whether the connection is dead, the session expired, or the captive portal wants you to log in again. This checks all three and tells you which, in one tap. Who it is for: anyone who works on…
You are handed a phone — messages, photos, deleted drafts, a maps history — and the case is in there. No puzzle screens, no inventory, just the interface you already know how to use, which is what makes it unsettling. Tie one chapter to a real cafe where a…
Two phones, one QR scan to pair, then you both swipe through films and shows until something gets a yes from both of you. It stops the forty minutes of scrolling that usually ends with nothing being watched. Who it is for: couples and flatmates, and anyone…
You save the reel, you forget the reel. This catches shared places from the videos you send each other, pins them to a map, and surfaces them when you are nearby and hungry — with the group you saved them with, since it is never a solo list. Who it is for:…
Community kitchens, mosque and church distributions, charity kitchens, funeral meals, food banks with an hour left on the tray. Volunteers post what is being served and where, the map shows what is still going, and people who need it can just walk there. Who…
Both of you opt in, both of you hand over your location history, and the app finds the overlaps: the same concert in 2019, the same terminal on the same afternoon, the cafe you both sat in a week apart. It turns a coincidence into something you can look at.…
Upload the photo, the screenshot of the conversation, whatever it is. It curls, chars and goes up while sad music plays and the phone crackles under your thumb. You get a video of it burning, which is the part people will actually post. Who it is for: anyone…
Not a feed with a map bolted on, a map that is the whole interface. Who is running this evening, which sauna has people in it, who is around and actually up for meeting. Zenly proved people want this and then got shut down, leaving the space empty. Who it is…
The real reason people leave a job gets said in the pub, never in the exit interview, and never on a jobs profile where the whole industry can see it. An app for posting why you actually walked out, so the next person reads it before they sign. Who it is…
Half of email is scheduling, and the current answer is two apps and a lot of switching. Put mail and calendar behind one bottom bar: read the message, see the day it is asking about, block the slot, reply, done, without ever leaving. Who it is for: anyone…
A feed that watches what you linger on and weaves those interests into an ongoing audiovisual novel in real time, so the story bends toward whatever you keep watching. The original pitch added a wagering layer on top to sharpen the pull. Who it is for: the…
You get handed a prescription and then start the ring-round: four pharmacies, three of them out of stock, one that thinks it might have it tomorrow. The app shows which nearby pharmacies actually hold what you were prescribed, lets you reserve it, and orders…
Pick a week of meals and it builds the shopping list, then prices that exact list at each nearby supermarket and tells you where to go. Savings are measurable, which makes the subscription easy to justify.
Forward or photograph a receipt and it lands categorised, VAT split out, matched to the card transaction. Aimed at sole traders who currently keep a shoebox and dread January.
This list is ours. The app is where everyone else posts theirs — anonymously, then the crowd votes it up or down. No sign-up, no email.
